The irregularities in CentOS regarding releasing patches, updates and major releases are so pathetic that it no more qualifies to bear the "Enterprise" tag. FYI, many have already started moving to SL6, wherever it's possible. In fact, I have moved to SL6. So far it's good.manmath sahuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18392773625626406680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2820053176535548299.post-24483933198503868022011-04-01T06:00:53.187-07:002011-04-01T06:00:53.187-07:00What is the point of CentOS?

If it is to be a communtity _Enterprise_ Linux it should at least make security updates available within a week or so of the upstream vendor releasing them.<br /><br />With delays of several months between Red Hat releasing a new point version and CentOS releasing their corresponding version means that browsers, web servers, kernels etc. can contain major security flaws for many weeks after the exploit has been published and fixed by Red Hat. <br /><br />The delay in CentOS getting new releases out isn't a problem, the delay that causes in getting security fixes released is. <br /><br />Regarding the release schedule stated on the wiki, I think that is just repeating Red Hat's intended release schedule (which RH slipped considerably with 5.0 to 6.0).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2820053176535548299.post-9800358857487503562011-03-31T15:02:07.339-07:002011-03-31T15:02:07.339-07:00The core team CentOS re-packers are mostly free la...The core team CentOS re-packers are mostly free lance consultants doing other work to feed the kids.

This time the delay is so long that it seems better if just skip the releases and get ready for 5.7 and 6.1 when RHEL sends them out of the door.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2820053176535548299.post-50613517333273416842011-03-24T11:00:08.440-07:002011-03-24T11:00:08.440-07:00This link says CentOS releases every two years and...This link says CentOS releases every two years and updates the hardware profiles every 6 months.
